The building stands for, amongst other things, an invitation to participate and embrace the VW philosophy. By definition, a pavilion is a light, airy and open building used for viewing of sporting activities. The concept of the building was therefore to create a facility to encourage viewing and participation, with all required amenities. Thus the building speaks of integrity, and is inviting and open to all VWSA employees and their families. The approved overall budget for the project required that as Principal Agents we were responsible to ensure that the building was designed, built and finished with respect to all the furniture and fittings so that it could function on completion precisely as the initial brief requested. The requirement for the multi-purpose sports hall led to very detailed discussions and meetings with the indoor cricket suppliers to enable the first movable indoor cricket system.
